[Jalandhar,Punjab] Punjab Congress V-P Kamboj joins AAP But Bajwa Takes a Dig at Sukhbir Badal
Congress leader C D Kamboj today joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) along with his supporters in the presence of AAP’s state convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur.
Congress’ Punjab unit vice-president Col C D Kamboj said that the infighting among the state Congress leaders made him quit the party and join AAP.
He Added “In the current political scenario it seems that Congress is not in a position to challenge the Akalis in Punjab since its own leaders are busy infighting”,
Without naming anybody, Kamboj claimed, all Congress leaders are involved in fighting each other and that he had met the party’s Punjab incharge Shakeel Ahmed and also Sonia and Rahul Gandhi regarding his decision.
On The Other Hand Punjab Congress President Partap Singh Bajwa today took a dig at Sukhbir Singh Badal for organising ‘Sadbhavna’ rallies in the state, saying the people have now resolved to reciprocate to this ‘Sadbhavna’ (feeling) by not allowing the entry of ministers to their villages.
In a statement here, Bajwa said that under the given situation the so-called ‘Sadbhavna’ rallies being organized by the Akali Dal from November 23 will be “nothing more than mockery” as the people were “refusing to see the face” of Akali leaders going by what is happening at the grassroot level.
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal called upon SAD workers to mobilize people to attend ‘Sadbhavna’ rallies in three districts of the state from November 23 aimed to bring harmony in the state and strengthen the spirit of unity.
Bajwa further attacked Sukhbir, alleging that Punjab had now been converted into the “police state”, but the state cannot be governed with these methods.
